Pence says it's time for special counsel to 'wrap up' Russia investigation

Israel & Iran exchange missile fire with Syria involved, all while Trump pointlessly pokes Iran with a stick.

Faaaaaantastic.

If it keeps getting said, it will happen. Come on man, I get that he gets crisped a bit in this due to his own blind ambition, and I understand that the image of Washington on the quarter in my pocket might be smarter then he is, but the bar is not low enough to make this 'request' credible. If there is there-there, it must continue, and it took plenty of time for Nixon's fall from grace to come together. Mueller completely understands that if there is nothing in the end that he will have completed the destruction of the FBI, so he must be being incredibly careful.

Mikke Pence will need to learn that everything Donald touches dies, and it is too late for him, or his soul.

Mr. Giuliani suggested that such payments were common at his firm, even without the knowledge of the clients. “That was money that was paid by his lawyer, the way I would do, out of his law firm funds,” he said on Fox News. He added, “Michael would take care of things like this like I take care of this with my clients.”

The New York Times asked Greenberg Traurig about those remarks early this week. Shortly after Mr. Giuliani’s resignation was announced, the firm responded.

“We cannot speak for Mr. Giuliani with respect to what was intended by his remarks,” said a spokeswoman, Jill Perry. “Speaking for ourselves, we would not condone payments of the nature alleged to have been made or otherwise without the knowledge and direction of a client.”

And despite Mr. Trump’s grousing about Mr. Giuliani’s gaffes, the president has also told people that Mr. Giuliani is putting out information that the president wants to be part of the public conversation, particularly about the special counsel inquiry.

Angus King was on Morning Joe this morning when Pence sent out that Tweet. They asked King about it and his response was that he had no idea why the Administration would want the investigation to end if they did nothing wrong. Nothing could be better for Trump and his people than a completed investigation and a report from Mueller saying everything was on the up-and-up. He said that the only thing ending the investigation early would do is leave lingering question/doubt about what the Administration did or didn't do.

Having been involved in a similar situation, I could not agree with King more.
